Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1.5 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup Optional toppings (e.g., pepperoni, veggies, fresh basil)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 1-2 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Roll the dough out into a 10-12 inch circle and transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper or a lightly greased pizza pan.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Add your favorite toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sliced vegetables, or fresh basil).
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven (use the parchment paper if transferring to a stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
